Technip has been
about almost as long as many of us can remember,
which in my case is quite a long time in the life
of the offshore industry. In the early part of
this century they merged with Coflexip, both of
them being French in origin and the company
headquarters are still in Paris. Both companies
used to hire ships to carry out their projects
which were predominantly under the water.

Today Technip
operates a number of their own ships and hires
others on long term charter. The ships both
owned and hired are included here, as well as on
the sites of their actual owners where
appropriate. Although many of these ships have
two roles - essentially pipelayers and heavy
lift ships, these are designated as pipelayers.
The others are probably diving ships.

At the 2014
review one ship had been sold and there are
quite a few on order.
